▼ The focus of the dissertation which deals with the
topic of Operations management is on supply chain management and on
the assessability of dynamic interactions of lead time with regard
to overall performance of the system. Based on progressive
globalization (Reiner et al. 2008) which results in competitive
pressure from low-wage countries and based on higher service
requirements of customers, time-based competitive strategies
(Askenazy et al. 2006), in addition to cost and quality, are a
success factor which becomes more and more important for companies
in many industrial sectors (Krüger und Steven 2000, Suri 2010). In
this context, the reduction of lead time is one of the decisive
mechanisms for improvement. Irrespective of the positive impact of
reduced lead time in many sectors, many managers do not pay
sufficient attention to it (Suri 1998). On the one hand, this is
due to the fact that attempts for the reduction of lead times are
directed against standard management methods, for example, the
maximization of resource utilization. The dynamic correlations
between lead time, resource utilization, batch size and variability
are not always intuitive and, to some extent, difficult to
understand (Suri 1998). On the other hand, a time based evaluation
model is not yet available which could be used to evaluate the
overall performance of interrelations and interactions of measured
values relating to effectiveness (for example, customer
satisfaction) and efficiency (for example, costs) (Götze et al.
2000, Maskell and Kennedy 2007). That is why a
sustainable supply chain evaluation model is developed in this
dissertation, which, above all, takes time-based competition
factors into account. The evaluation model provides an attempt of
how to better understand, analyze and evaluate the overall
performance of lead time reduction methods or, in general, the lead
time. The benefit is illustrated based on the application for a
real supply chain with subsequent implementation. All in all, the
dissertation adds to a better understanding of relations within the
supply chain. The dissertation is structured as follows
in order to reach the research objective: First of all,
theoretical basics are described and methodic outlook is provided
which reflects the research attempt. This is followed by
an empirical examination of the queueing theory in chapter 3. It’s
most important theoretical basis for production management is the
functional correlation of resource utilization, variability and
lead time. Even if there is no doubt about the correctness of
axiomatic, quantitative research, the exponential proportion
between lead time and resource utilization has so far not been
examined explicitly based on empirical data of complex production
systems. Varied reasons might be stated for this loophole. For
example, companies make implied efforts to avoid an increase in
lead time in situation of high resource utilization. It must be
checked in particular against the background of real implementation
to which extent the…

▼ Dans certains cas, la concentration du gaz à détecter
est si faible qu’elle est en dessous de la limite de détection des
capteurs usuels et donc la présence d’une unité de préconcentration
en amont du capteur devient indispensable. Le principe de cette
technique repose sur l’accumulation du gaz à détecter au moyen d’un
adsorbant qui ensuite, sous l’effet d’une hausse brusque de la
température, est désorbé puis redirigé vers un détecteur,
entraînant ainsi une amplification de la concentration du gaz vu
par ce détecteur. Cette thèse présente le développement d'un
préconcentrateur pour la détection de substances chimiques à l’état
de trace en phase gaz. Ce micro-préconcentrateur sera constitué
d’un microcomposant en silicium rempli d’un adsorbant et muni d’une
résistance chauffante à son dos et de capillaires métalliques
servant de connectiques fluidiques à l’entrée et à la sortie du
dispositif. La particularité de ce dispositif est liée à son
applicabilité aussi bien dans le domaine de la surveillance de la
pollution atmosphérique (Benzène, Toluène, Xylène…) que la
détection d’explosifs (composés nitroaromatiques). Différents
modèles de micro-dispositifs ont été étudiés et une attention
particulière a été consacrée au carbone adsorbant. L'optimisation
et le fonctionnement de ce système de préconcentration ont été
étudiés suivant son application future. En plus, les avantages de
l'utilisation de silicium poreux pour faciliter la fixation de
l’adsorbant dans le réacteur et modifier la cinétique de désorption
de gaz ont été également étudiés.

▼ This doctoral dissertation in the field of Supply
Chain Management focuses on the dynamic interactions between
uncertainty, flexibility, and performance in the supply chain. In
particular, it provides evidence that the improvements related to
uncertainty reduction practices are modulated by the flexibility
enablers engaged by the companies involved in the supply network.
Consequently, it highlights the need for system-wide evaluation
that captures the dynamics of the specific operational
characteristics of a network. Further, this dissertation explores
the issue of the interaction between uncertainty and flexibility in
model-based supply chain evaluation. The results denote that
neglecting these relationships might lead to mistaken estimation of
the supply chain performance. The impact of both
uncertainty and flexibility on supply chain variability leads to
multiple dynamic interactions, which creates complex problems at
the time of assessing the impact of supply chain improvements on
the performance of the system. Indeed, if general supply chain
behavior has been identified, the impact of the interactions
between specific operational settings on the system dynamics
remains largely unknown. In particular, serious gaps remain in the
understanding of the dependencies between flexibility enablers.
This understanding is important because of its direct implications
on the dynamic of the system. Interactions between flexibility
enablers are assumed to influence the general ability of the system
to demonstrate flexibility and therefore directly affect the
behavior of the system. This knowledge is therefore required in
order to better understand the mechanisms underlying supply chain
performance, and then to enable model to capture better the
dynamics of the systems. The core of this dissertation is
constituted by three articles that can be read separately. All of
these studies are related to the interaction between uncertainty
and flexibility with regard to supply chain performance; however,
the detailed research questions considered in each study are
distinct. The first study investigates the interaction
between forecasting and flexibility enablers with regard to
managing demand. It is assumed that superior knowledge regarding
demand influences the production process as well and, consequently,
the flexibility enablers' effect on company performance. This
analysis evidences that the impact of forecasting on performance is
due to the mediating effect of flexibility enablers. In particular,
it shows that the relationship between forecasting and customer
satisfaction is mainly due to process flow management, while the
relationship with cost efficiency is mainly due to layout.
Therefore, this study not only provided evidence of the existing
relationships between forecasting and performance, but it provided
as well some insights on the causality of this relationship. In
particular, the study showed that the availability of additional
information helps the actors involved in a specific process to make
prompt decisions…

▼ Educational activities such as
simulation, that promote the transfer of knowledge from theory to practice, are recognized as effective learning strategies by nursing educators. Debriefing that takes place after a
simulation session contributes to the knowledge gained by students and can include video-playback review. Very few studies have examined the impact of video-playback review following the
simulation and debriefing session. This quasi-experimental study asked the following question: Is video-playback in
simulation, after verbal debriefing, associated with changes in nursing students’ reflection, communication and anxiety level? Kolb’s experiential learning theory provided the lens for this research. Findings from this study suggest that oral debriefing alone from a facilitator might have an impact in relation to students’ perceptions of their reflection, communication skills and anxiety levels.

▼ Discrete Event
Simulation (DES) is widely used in analyzing and improving business processes. Business process maturity models (BPMM) are used to define maturity levels of business processes and give recommendations how maturity levels can be increased. While each has proven their efficiency in their own way, very little attention is paid to the complementary role they play when combined. In this paper, we discuss and demonstrate the added value of
simulation in conjunction to maturity models. The quantitative added value of
simulation models as well as the added value in change management are discussed. We used two case studies from a large financial organization to demonstrate the added value of
simulation in conjunction to BPMM. The finding of this research resulted in a set of recommendations about suitability of DES at different maturity levels. Furthermore recommendations are given for further research in the field of maturity levels supported by
simulation.

▼ Simulation enables preliminary testing of products that may otherwise be dicult, ex-pensive, or dangerous to test physically. Unfortunately, intellectual property concernscan make it dicult or impossible to share the human-readable simulation models toend-users. In fact, there can even be diculties with sharing executables because ofthe possibility for reverse-engineering. This presents a problem when simulating if themodel relies on components for which the source code or executable is not available,such as proprietary components developed by another party. This thesis investigateswhether it is possible to enable a set of networked peers to all take part in computingthe same simulation without any of them having access to the entire model. One way tosolve this problem is to let each system that holds a model of a component to computeits part of the simulation for a single timestep and to share the new state through peer-to-peer connections with the other systems, once a response has been received fromall other peers, the local simulation can advance one timestep and the process can berepeated. But running a simulation over a network can make it signicantly slower,since local operations on the CPU and memory are much faster than operations overa network, and the peers will be spending most of their time waiting for each other asa result. To avoid such delays, each peer maintains expected values for variables thatare not in the local model, and updates are sent only when a local variable changes.These updates are stamped with the local simulation-time, thus allowing the recipientpeers to know when the update is required in the simulations future, or to when itshould be retroactively applied in the simulations past. Using this technique, the peerscan compute their respective local models under the assumption that the variablesthat the other peers control are unchanged. Thus the peers can advance any numberof timesteps without needing to stop and wait for other peers. These techniques willlikely result in wasted work if one or more peers are advancing their simulation timeslower than the others, when this happens, the peers have the ability to re-distributethe workload on the y by transferring control over models. This also makes it possibleto accommodate for systems joining or leaving the simulation while it is running.In this thesis we show that co-simulating in this fashion is a workable option to tra-ditional simulation when the local models are incomplete, but that the performanceis very dependent on the models being simulated. Especially the relation between thefrequency of required synchronizations, and the time to compute a timestep. In ourexperiments with fairly basic models, the performance ratio, compared to traditionalsimulation, ranged between less than one percent of that of traditional simulation, upto roughly 70%. But with slower models always having a better ratio.

▼ Cyber-physical systems (CPSs) represent a new generation of engineered systems that tightly integrates computations, communications (cyber) and physics. Simulation plays a considerable role in validating CPSs as it substantially reduces the costs and risks in the design-testing cycles. Reliable simulations, however, mandate realistic modeling for both the cyber and the physical aspects. This is especially the case in various networked mobile CPSs (e.g., excavation robots and vehicular networks), where cost and risk may become substantial. Current CPS modeling tools lack complete models of communication. Co-simulation attempts to overcome this limitation by integrating multiple modeling and simulation tools to offer complete models of all aspects of CPSs. In this thesis, we design and implement a co-simulation environment for modeling and simulating networked CPSs. The environment is called AcumenNS3 and it integrates Acumen, a language for modeling hybrid physical systems, with NS-3, a discrete-event network simulator. This environment allows users to augment network simulations with physical models using an easy-to-use modeling language. It provides a seamless integration between network and physics models by providing mobility based on the physical simulation in addition to generic access to the physical state. Using the AcumenNS3 environment, we demonstrate and model example simulation scenarios of networked CPSs.

▼ Ce travail s'articule en quatre parties. Les trois premières ont pour socle commun l'adaptation d'un schéma volumes finis (VFFC) à des situations variées, dans le but d'un gain en efficacité pour la simulation numérique d'écoulements complexes. La première partie concerne la simulation numérique efficace de la chute d'un bloc de liquide au sein d'une poche de gaz, et propose un nouveau modèle mutualisant de précédents travaux pour associer finesse des résultats et efficacité de calcul. La deuxième partie vise à la mise en place d'un schéma AMR (Adaptive Mesh Refinement) général pour la résolution par volumes finis des systèmes non conservatifs. La troisième partie a pour finalité le couplage dynamique de deux modèles représentant plus ou moins finement une physique donnée. Enfin, dans un tout autre domaine où l'efficacité de résolution des équations aux dérivées partielles revêt également une grande importance, la quatrième partie s'intéresse au problème du flot optique en imagerie - c'est à dire à la recherche d'un champ de déplacement à partir d'une suite d'image - et approfondit une méthode existante (méthode de Horn et Schunck) d'un point de vue pratique et théorique.
This work is divided into four parts. The first three parts, as a common base, aim at adapting a finite volume scheme (VFFC) to various situations, in order to get a better efficiency for the numerical simulation of complex flows. The first part deals with the efficient numerical simulation of a falling block of liquid in a gas pocket, and proposes a new model to combine previous work for associating precision of results and computational efficiency. The second part aims at the establishment of a general AMR (Adaptive Mesh Refinement) scheme for resolution by finite volumes of non-conservative systems. The purpose of the third part is the dynamic coupling of two models representing more or less finely a given physical system. Finally, in any other area where the efficiency of solving partial differential equations is of great importance too, the fourth part deals with the problem of optical flow in imaging - i.e. the research of a displacement field from several successive images - and deepens an existing method (Horn and Schunck method) from a practical and theoretical perspective.

▼ 3D graphics programming is generally done using libraries such as OpenGL,
DirectX and Vulkan. Some effects such as lighting, reflection have well defined
approaches, however simulating water is known to be a little difficult to achieve.
This project of simulating water uses Open Graphics Library (OpenGL), which is
a collection of commands to create 2D and 3D graphics. GLSL is an example of shader
language. Shader languages are intended to run on a GPU, in the context of graphics
pipeline.
Simulating water movement has been done taking help of different algorithms of
physics for calculating velocity, position and force. The water waves are rendered by
manipulating variables such as Points, Triangles and Normals, which are eventually sent
to shaders for processing lighting effects, reflection and refraction in the rendered scene.
The challenges of simulating water include dealing with different parameters such
as reflection, refraction, color of the light and the placement of camera, so the more
complex an object interacts with light, the more difficult to render it. Most graphics
programming works by rendering the triangles and polygons to the screen by drawing them onto the buffer, like drawing on a canvas. But, for water to look realistic and convincing,
it should exhibit reflection and refraction, which doesn???t always work nicely with triangle
drawing models as water appearance is heavily dependent on the color of things around it.
The goal of the project is to develop/implement reasonable, simple and repeatable
approaches of simulating water using 3D Computer Graphics which would be practical,
efficient and minimize imperfections in the final product. The result may have
imperfections because of the known difficulties of simulating water, but the goal is to make
the result as attractive as reasonably possible.

The present work addresses two main complementary parts: the first part deals with the modeling and simulation of hybrid solar-gas tower power plant (HSTPP) performances and the second one treats the solar tower power plant (STPP) reliability analysis. An overview of HSTPP technology, current status and a presentation of the major components including the heliostat field, the solar receiver and the power conversion system are first highlighted. Then, modeling and simulation of the HSTPP performances is developed. In this study the HSTPP is divided into two main parts, the first one is the solar part or the solar tower power plant (STPP) and the second is the gas part or gas turbine power plant (GTPP). The STPP performances analysis iswell detailed in this thesis since the STPP is the most important part of HSTPP. To this end, two different methods namelythe artificial neural network (ANN) method and the analytical method using energy analysis are presented and analyzedfor the STPP performance analysis. The simulation of the performances of this STPP using these two methods has led to a very good convergence and accuracy of these results. Besides, GTPP and HSTPP performancesare evaluated and simulated in this thesis. For the STPP reliability analysis, the study focuses on specific methods such as the First Order Reliability Method (FORM). Detailed analysis concerning FORM is developed in this thesis. The same hypothetical STPP example, used for the performance analysis, is proposed also to evaluate this method. The results show that FORM is suitable to assess the reliability of STPP systems and it converges quickly. It can also adjust the first design parameters to a new safe design

▼ In Computational Science and Parallel Computing research, model equations have been developed to assist in solving problems in science and engineering. Such equations have aided researchers in developing methods used in the study of weather prediction, optical fiber communication systems, water waves, etc... Often, it is the desire of many researchers to further develop numerical methods and make these model equations, their numerical simulations and plots accessible to users through the Internet. In this thesis, I present a web based graphical user numerical
simulation interface for nonlinear evolution equations such as the nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS), coupled NLS (CNLS), and the complex modified Korteweg-de Vries (CMKdV) equations. In addition, the numerical implementation of a proposed numerical scheme for the modified CNLS equation is presented. Sequential and parallel algorithms for such equations were implemented on sequential and multiprocessor machines. Index Words: Numerical
Simulation, Nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation, Coupled Nonlinear Schrödinger (CNLS) equation, Complex Modified Korteweg-de Vries (CMKdV) equation, Web based graphical user interface.

▼ This thesis explores the phenomenon of user
participation in peer production communities. In large-scale
collaboration communities such as wikis, open source software
development teams, and file-sharing groups, members are, in
general, not remunerated for contributing to the digital common, so
the incentives to participate in these projects are usually
construed in terms of extrinsic benefits such as building
reputations, reciprocity, gratification, and providing a sense of
membership to a socially cohesive group. In fact, like any social
group, a community of commons-based peer production is endowed with
its own norms, beliefs, and cultural features. In these systems
such features, however, are themselves the result of a bottom-up
process of cultural formation and opinion aggregation, mostly
related to various aspects of the social production of digital
content. Unfortunately it is still poorly understood how this
process happens – considering that most interactions between
members are mediated by the digital artifacts encyclopedic
articles, source code, etc.) that the project is producing. To this
end, we studied the process of community formation in a large peer
production community by means of statistical analysis and
agent-based modeling and
simulation. In the first part of this
thesis we analyzed the activity of registered editors from the
communities of five of the largest versions of Wikipedia, the free
online encyclopedia. We found that the distribution of the user
activity lifespan is distributed according to a mixture of
log-normal distributions. In order to understand these empirical
patterns we developed, in the second part of the thesis, an
agent-based model of a peer production community. Social influence
is modeled in terms of dyadic user-page interactions, under the
form of the bounded confidence rule. Thus a measurable aspect of
user participation – activity lifespan – is linked to microscopic
features of the dynamics of social influence. In order to study the
behavior of our model, we perform a factor screening via global
sensitivity analysis. We then calibrate our agent-based model using
the empirical data from Wikipedia. To this end, an indirect
inference technique is devised and tested. In light of the results
of our model, in the third – and final – part of the thesis we
analyze a recent dataset from the English Wikipedia and perform a
longitudinal study of the life cycle of user activity. Using a
non-parametric approach we study how the daily rate of editing
changes during the lifespan of editors, and find a strongly
inhomogeneous temporal life cycle. This approach enables us to look
at the temporal evolution of editing activity for the whole
community of Wikipedia editors. These results suggest that user
participation in peer production systems can be construed primarily
as a process of mediated social influence and that other factors,
most surprisingly intrinsic motivation to contribution, are less
important in determining the overall activity lifespan of an
individual. In conclusion…

▼ The haptics-based virtual reality surgical simulator project focuses upon the research and development of a tool for training in percutaneous renal access. By the use of virtual reality and haptics technology, the application allows trainees to learn how to correctly puncture a kidney under fluoroscopy guidance, by exploring a 3D virtual human body and experiencing real tactile sensations while touching the surface of skin, bones, kidneys and collecting system, lungs and vessels with a virtual needle.
Since physicians rely mainly on tactile feedbacks to execute surgical procedures, the integration of haptics is indisputably essential for a realistic simulator, along with an accurate reproduction of the human anatomy.
The haptics-based virtual reality simulator may represent an important tool for the basic training of the urologists in obtaining percutaneous renal access: practicing on this simulator is also likely to support trainees in the improvement of hand-eye coordination, in the C arm management in the operative room, in processing 2D radiographic images into 3D mind images, which is crucial for a good access, and in avoiding unnecessary X-ray exposure during the learning process.

Le Banc de registres avec ses ports d’accès et le mécanisme de renvoi sont les ressources critiques parmi d’autres du chemin de données du processeur. Notre étude évalue l’impact de l’augmentation du degré superscalaire sur le flux des données manipulées par le processeur. Nous montrons que la réduction du nombre de ports d’accès au banc de registres, sans réorganisation de la lecture des registres sources et de l’écriture des destinations, est peu efficace. Les registres sources prêtes au renommage, critiques pour la performance, doivent être transmises par le chemin le plus direct possible c’est-à-dire le réseau de renvoi. Les autres registres sources sont moins critiques pour la performance. Leur chemin peut transiter par le banc de registres

▼ The quest to improve the performance of reservoir simulators has been evolving with the newly encountered challenges of modeling more complex recovery mechanisms and related phenomena. Reservoir subsidence, fracturing and fault reactivation etc. require coupled flow and poroelastic
simulation. These features, in turn, bring a heavy burden on linear solvers. The booming unconventional plays such as shale/tight oil in North America demand reservoir
simulation techniques to handle more physics (or more hypotheses). This dissertation deals with three aspects in improving the performance of reservoir
simulation toward these unconventional challenges.
Compositional
simulation is often required for many reservoir studies with complex recovery mechanisms such as gas inject. But, it is time consuming and its parallelization often suffers sever load imbalance problems. In the first section, a novel approach based on domain over-decomposition is investigated and implemented to improve the parallel performance of compositional
simulation. For a realistic reservoir case, it is shown the speedup is improved from 29.27 to 62.38 on 64 processors using this technique.
Another critical part that determines the performance of a reservoir simulator is the linear solver. In the second section, a new type of linear solver based the combinatorial multilevel method (CML) is introduced and investigated for several reservoir
simulation applications. The results show CML has better scalability and performance empirically and is well-suited for coupled poroelastic problems. These results also suggest that CML might be a promising way of precondition for flow
simulation with and without coupled poroelastic calculations.
In order to handle unconventional petroleum fluid properties for tight oil, the third section incorporates a simulator with extended vapor-liquid equilibrium calculations to consider the capillarity effect caused by the dynamic nanopore properties. The enhanced simulator can correctly capture the pressure dependent impact of the nanopore on rock and fluid properties. It is shown inclusion of these enhanced physics in
simulation will lead to significant improvements in field operation decision-making and greatly enhance the reliability of recovery predictions.

▼ This work is dedicated to the study of the structure-property-function relationships of glassy materials by utilizing computational experiments conducted with molecular simulation techniques that translate to the cutting edge of materials research. Glassy materials constitute one basic representative of the category of amorphous materials.Amorphous materials are materials whose properties are a hybrid of solid and liquid properties. In particular, materials belonging to this category can show lack of long-range order in their structure and time-dependent deformation in response to the imposition of large external stresses (as liquids generally do), whereas at the same time they can retain their geometry, support shear stresses and return to their initial shape upon removal of small external stresses (as solids generally do). In that sense, glassy materials have both solid and liquid characteristics. In particular, glasses are considered to be amorphous solids. On the one hand, they exhibit a disordered structure, as liquids do, whereas, on the other hand, molecular motion in them consists mainly of vibrations around equilibrium positions, as in solids, and translational diffusion is very slow.Clearly, the study of these amorphous materials is of great scientific importance, as it can reveal unknown mechanisms – whether at an atomic, molecular, or more coarse-grained level – which are not applicable to any of the three known states of matter.Moreover, the constraints under which these physical mechanisms act are also of great importance, as it is known that the properties of amorphous materials depend strongly not only on their formation process, but also on the conditions under which they find themselves. Another unique characteristic of this type of materials is that their properties change with time. This is a strong indication that these materials are out of thermodynamic equilibrium and constantly striving to approach it.Understanding glasses, and therefore being able to control their properties, is of great technological significance as well. Amorphous materials are present in every aspect of our everyday life and their role is far more important and essential than one would intuitively expect. This happens because their use is not limited to the traditional inorganic glasses, such as wine bottles and window panes, but includes also the technologically most important category of organic (usually polymer) glasses. Today,polymer glasses exhibiting glass transition at temperatures above room temperature[e.g. polystyrene (PS), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), poly(methyl methacrylate)(PMMA), polycarbonates (PC) and polyimides] find countless applications as construction and insulation materials, membranes with specific permeability and selectivity etc. It’s worth mentioning that recently developed Upsalite, named after the University of Uppsala where it has been synthesized for the first time, is an inorganic amorphous solid (magnesium carbonate) with world record breaking surface area(~800 m 2 /g) and water…

▼ This study was focused on a narrow section of the turbulent Taylor vortex flow, which the cylinder diametric ratio was 0.95. On top of the traditional Taylor vortex flow, there was an axial air flow induced to the concentric cylinders??? air gap. This setup made the case special because many studies were done without the axial flow in the past. There was not known correlation for Taylor vortex flow with axial flow so far. The objective was to design an experimental setup that fit the above criteria and compare the experimental data to CFD
simulation.
Using the test data, the windage loss was found having a quadratic relationship with the rotational speed at 200 SLPM of axial air flow. And the CFD
simulation using Solidworks Flow
Simulation also showed a quadratic relationship between the windage and rotational speed at 200 SLPM of axial air flow. The
simulation result was overestimate the windage through 0 to 30000 rpm. Above 30000 rpm, windage predicted by
simulation was underestimated. The
simulation results were much more closely mapping the experimental results above 25000 rpm, which
simulation results had maximum 24% deviation from experimental data. Hence,
simulation could be used to predict windage losses in this special case of turbulent Taylor vortex flow with induced axial flow.

▼ Discrete-event
simulation is a commonly used technique to model changes
within a complex physical systems as a series of events that occur at discrete points
of time. As the complexity of the physical system being modeled increases, the
simulator can reach a point where it is no longer feasible for it to run efficiently on one
computing resource. A common solution is to break the physical system into multiple
logical processes. When breaking a
simulation over multiple computing nodes, care
must be taken to ensure the results obtained are the same as would be obtained from
a non-distributed
simulation. This is done by ensuring that the events processed
in each individual logical process are processed in chronological order. The task is
complicated by the fact that the computing nodes will be exchanging timestamped
messages and will often be operating at different points of
simulation time. Therefore,
highly efficient synchronization methods must be used. It is also important that the
logical processes have a capable means to transport messages among themselves or
the benefits of parallelization will be lost.
The objective of this dissertation is to design, develop, test, and evaluate tech-
niques to improve the performance of large-scale discrete-event simulations. The
techniques include improvements in messaging passing, state management, and time
synchronization. Along with specific implementation improvements, we also examine
techniques on how to effectively make use of resources such as shared memory and
graphical processing units.

▼ Since French tailor Franz Reichelt made the earliest attempt in February 1912, wingsuits have been developed and widely used not only in extreme sports, but also for military purposes. In the late 1990s, the modern wingsuit was developed. It is defined as a special wearable suit that adds surface area to the human body to enable a significant increase in lift during flight through the air. A wingsuit flight normally starts by a pilot jumping from a point that provides sufficient altitude for flight and ends by deploying a parachute. During the flight, the pilot can adjust his or her arms and legs to make different body configurations, in order to modify the flight speed and flight path. Modern wingsuits are made of special fabrics. There are wings under each arm and between the legs (Figure 1). The wings are designed to be ram-air inflated so that they become more rigid and have airfoil properties, which provides better flight performance. Compared to conventional air vehicles, configurations and performance of wingsuits are affected more by human factors, such as the pilot’s body size, arm strength, stamina, and flight experience. Therefore, the shape of wingsuits can change dramatically under different flight conditions. Due to these issues, it is hard to study wingsuits and simulate wingsuit flight dynamics. For instance, in the history of the development of modern wingsuits, no full-sized wingsuit has ever been tested in wind tunnel to obtain data on wingsuit behavior under different settings and conditions. It will be an extensive and expensive process to conduct the wind tunnel set up and relevant preparation. In this thesis, a reduced scale wingsuit model was designed and fabricated to fit in the low speed wind tunnel at Georgia Tech. This model was used in wind tunnel tests to determine aerodynamic characteristics. Since the measured aerodynamic loads were converted into dimensionless coefficients, the measured data was applied on a human scale wingsuit air vehicle system, which consisted a pilot and a full size modern wingsuit. The wingsuit air vehicle was constructed and used for flight dynamics
simulation and stability analysis.

▼ A
simulation model has been designed to model
the traffic when the number of lanes has been reduced due to
construction work (bottleneck) using the ARENA
simulation program.
The ARENA
simulation model consists of about 1750 modules
(statements) and it uses the entity – transporter pairs to
represent either a car or a truck with specific features assigned
in the model. The model is developed to simulate two lane road
traffic in same direction reduced to one lane through the
construction zone. The model was designed to run on a PC. A minimum
processor speed of 2 GHz and at least 256 MB of RAM is desirable to
run the model. The ARENA Research Version 7.01 must be used for the
simulation. The
simulation model was run for a 24 hours time period
for a weekday. The data used as input variables for the ARENA
simulation model were collected during summer 2004 at the I-76
Westbound construction zone near Rootstown, Ohio as a part of the
project entitled “Improved Work Zone Design Guidelines and Enhanced
Model of Travel Delays in Work Zones” for Ohio Department of
Transportation. This data was analyzed in order to be used as input
and validation for the
simulation model. The ARENA model could not
be fully evaluated since the actual traffic volumes which were
observed and collected were not high enough to cause queues in the
lane reduction area (lane reduction from two lanes to one lane).
For the relatively low traffic volume investigated in the real
world the ARENA model, as well as the QuickZone model did not
indicate any queues and delays.

▼ The empirical study of business responses to disasters is relatively scarce, despite that they are a fundamental part of the cities, providing services, jobs and, taxes that are essential for urban sustainability. This dissertation develops an agent-based simulation model to represent and understand the businesses reopening process in a dynamic environment in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. The objectives are two-fold: 1) To identify the main reopening predictors involved and estimate their relative importance through time, using an empirical data set collected from another study; 2) To represent the business reopening process through a computer simulation model, using the parameters derived from the first objective. The results show that businesses located in flooded areas had lower reopening probabilities, however the effect was significant only in the first nine months after the disaster. Larger businesses had better reopening probabilities than smaller ones, although this variable stopped being significant after six months. Variables associated with higher social vulnerability, such as percent non-white population and percent population under 18, had a negative effect on the business reopening probabilities at different points of time. The influence of neighboring firms using 1-km buffer was found significantly positive only immediately after the disaster; it became significantly negative one year after the disaster. The simulation model developed proved to mimic the reopening process at a suitable level. The model was used to simulate two scenarios: 1) First, the flood depth was reduced by 1 meter as a way to represent the implementation of measures designed to increase the buildings and infrastructure resistance to floods. The simulation results indicate that there are specific areas that would obtain greater benefit from these measures, however ten months after the disaster the effect of the measures tends to diminish. 2) Second, the spatial effects of aids were simulated by making a limited number of businesses in specific locations totally resilient to the disaster. The results indicate that the beneficial effect is influenced by variables such as business density and socio-economic conditions of the area. The positive effect is perceivable until four months after the disaster, after this point it diminishes.

▼ A means of space propulsion using the channeling of plasma by a divergent magnetic field, referred to as a magnetic nozzle has been explored by a number of research groups. This research develops the capability to apply the high order accurate Runge-Kutta discontinuous Galerkin numerical method to the
simulation of magnetic nozzles. The resistive magnetohydrodynamic model of plasma behavior is developed for these simulations. To facilitate this work, several modeling capabilities are developed, including the implementation of appropriate inflow and far-field boundary conditions, the application of a technique for correcting errors that develop in the divergence of the magnetic field, and a split formulation for the magnetic field between the applied and the perturbed component. This model is then applied to perform a scaling study of the performance of magnetic nozzles over a range of Bk and Rm. In addition, the effect of the choice of
simulation domain size is
investigated. Finally, recommendations for future work are made.

▼ Few studies have focused on evaluating nursing students' satisfaction with different types of
simulation, and in particular using valid and reliable instruments. A descriptive, cross-sectional and retrospective post-test study was conducted to examine nursing students’ satisfaction with low-fidelity
simulation (LFS) and high-fidelity
simulation (HFS). Thirty-five 4th year nursing students who met the eligibility criteria completed the Satisfaction with
Simulation Experience Scale (SSE) and a demographic questionnaire via Fluidsurvey. A paired t-test analysis revealed a significant difference in the CL subscale mean scores between LFS (M = 4.09) and HFS (M = 3.78), p = 0.008. The ranking question revealed that the opportunities to practice new skills, and to apply clinical reasoning and decision-making were among the top three ranked features for both LFS and HFS. Also included in the top three ranked items identified for LFS was the preparation of materials and orientation and for HFS was engagement and realism.

▼ Le contexte environnemental et énergétique actuel impose la mise en place de diverses politiques de maîtrise de l'énergie dont l'objectif finale consiste en une utilisation optimale des ressources énergétiques disponibles. Particulièrement en France, le secteur du bâtiment est le plus énergivore et aussi le plus gros gisement d'économie d'énergie et sans doute l'un des plus importants de réduction d'émission des gaz à effet de serre. Face à ce sujet majeur, la cogénération représente une solution de choix pour satisfaire aux besoins énergétiques de ce secteur. C'est dans ce cadre que nous développons, en association avec la société ENS2R, un simulateur numérique de comportement énergétique de système de cogénération couplé à un bâtiment. D'une part, des modèles numériques des différents composants de la plateforme de simulation ont été développés et validés et d'autre part des règles de contrôle-commande ont été élaborées et testées puis l'ensemble a été intégré dans l'environnement Simulink. A l'aide de cet outil d'aide au choix, les simulations dynamiques effectuées ont permis dans un premier temps d'évaluer les performances d'une configuration du système BATIMAC couplé à un bâtiment donné et d'en juger de la satisfaction des occupants par rapport à la stratégie de fonctionnement adoptée, puis des études paramétriques ont conduit à une configuration optimisée de l'installation selon différents régimes de fonctionnement.
The current environmental and energy context requires various policies of energy management whose final objective is a best use of available energy resources. Particularly in France, the building sector is the most energy-consuming and also the largest energy saving deposit and probably one of the largest emission reduction of greenhouse gasses. Deal with this major issue, combined heat and power plant is an excellent solution to meet the energy needs of this sector. It is in this framework that we develop, in association with the ENS2R Company, a numerical simulator of energy behavior CHP plant coupled with a building. First, the numerical models of various components have been developed and validated and secondly control rules have been developed and tested and all were integrated in the Simulink environment. Using this decision support tool, dynamics simulations were performed in a first step to evaluate the performance of one configuration of BATIMAC plant coupled to a building and to judge it the satisfaction of the occupants with regard to the operating strategy adopted then parametric studies led to an optimized configuration of this plant according to different operating modes.

▼ Hardware virtualisation is the provision of an isolated virtual environment that represents real physical hardware. It enables operating systems, or other system-level software (the guest), to run unmodified in a “container” (the virtual machine) that is isolated from the real machine (the host). There are many use-cases for hardware virtualisation that span a wide-range of end-users. For example, home-users wanting to run multiple operating systems side-by-side (such as running a Windows® operating system inside an OS X environment) will use virtualisation to accomplish this. In research and development environments, developers building experimental software and hardware want to prototype their designs quickly, and so will virtualise the platform they are targeting to isolate it from their development workstation. Large-scale computing environments employ virtualisation to consolidate hardware, enforce application isolation, migrate existing servers or provision new servers. However, the majority of these use-cases call for same-architecture virtualisation, where the architecture of the guest and the host machines match—a situation that can be accelerated by the hardware-assisted virtualisation extensions present on modern processors. But, there is significant interest in virtualising the hardware of different architectures on a host machine, especially in the architectural research and development worlds. Typically, the instruction set architecture of a guest platform will be different to the host machine, e.g. an ARM guest on an x86 host will use an ARM instruction set, whereas the host will be using the x86 instruction set. Therefore, to enable this cross-architecture virtualisation, each guest instruction must be emulated by the host CPU—a potentially costly operation. This thesis presents a range of techniques for accelerating this instruction emulation, improving over a state-of-the art instruction set simulator by 2:64x. But, emulation of the guest platform’s instruction set is not enough for full hardware virtualisation. In fact, this is just one challenge in a range of issues that must be considered. Specifically, another challenge is efficiently handling the way external interrupts are managed by the virtualisation system. This thesis shows that when employing efficient instruction emulation techniques, it is not feasible to arbitrarily divert control-flow without consideration being given to the state of the emulated processor. Furthermore, it is shown that it is possible for the virtualisation environment to behave incorrectly if particular care is not given to the point at which control-flow is allowed to diverge. To solve this, a technique is developed that maintains efficient instruction emulation, and correctly handles external interrupt sources. Finally, modern processors have built-in support for hardware virtualisation in the form of instruction set extensions that enable the creation of an abstract computing environment, indistinguishable from real hardware. These extensions enable guest…

▼ This research aims at developing a railway
simulation framework in order to provide a basis for evaluation of microscopic railway
simulation packages. The framework consists of two parts, the railway taxonomy and the selection method. The first part, derived based on the literature and
simulation tools, provides the user with a railway taxonomy in a hierarchical structure.Although the taxonomy could be used for scoring any
simulation package (based on the criteria), it is still incapable of selecting the most suitable one among a number of candidates (which is often the case).For this reason, the second part of the framework is defined as to develop a method which is able to select the most suitable tool for the project at hand.

▼ The
simulation of power system behavior, especially transient behavior, helps us in the
analysis and planning of various power systems. However, power systems are usually highly
complex and geographically distributed. Therefore system partitioning can be used to allow for
sharing resources in
simulation. In this work, distributed simulations of power system models
have been developed using an electromagnetic transient simulator, namely Real Time Digital
Simulator (RTDS). The goal is to demonstrate and assess the feasibility of both non-real-time
and real-time simulations using the RTDS in a geographically distributed scenario. Different
protocols and options used in the communication between power systems have been studied and
analyzed. In this work, a test bed has been developed for data transfer between a power system
simulated in RTDS at Mississippi State University and the power system simulated in RTDS at
Texas A&M University. Different protocols, available for the interface and communication in the
RTDS, have been studied and applied in this work. Finally, a locally distributed wide area control
test bed was developed and simulated.

▼ What materials designers most envy is nature’s building design. It has long been a dream for scientists to mimic and further engineer the behaviors, interactions, and reactions of biomolecules beyond experimental limits. To interpret and facilitate novel materials’ design, a hierarchical approach is presented in this dissertation. With the advent of molecular modeling, many biomolecular interactions can be studied. Using both computational and experimental approaches, we investigated the self-assembly of fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl-conjugated dipeptides (which are called “biomimetic materials”) including Fmoc-dialanine (Fmoc-AA) and Fmoc-Alanine-Lactic acid (Fmoc-ALac) molecules. We simulated the assembly of Fmoc-dipeptides and compared with experiments. We illustrated not only the angstrom-scale self-assembled structures, but also a prevalent polyproline II conformation with β-sheet-like hydrogen bonding pattern among short peptides. Further, simulations to calculate the potential of mean force (PMF) and melting temperatures were performed to gain deeper insights into the inter-fibril interaction. An energetic preference for fibril-fibril surface contact was demonstrated for the first time, which arises from a fibril-level amphiphilicity. From our study, a hierarchical self-assembly process mediated by the balance between hydrophobicity and hydrophilicity of fibril structures was unveiled. The next major topic in this dissertation involves the development of a chemically accurate polarizable multipole-based molecular mechanics model with the investigation of a series of chloromethanes. The ability of molecular modeling to make prediction is determined by the accuracy of underlying physical model. The traditional fixed-charge based force field is severely limited when applied to highly charged systems, halogen, phosphate and sulfate compounds. Via a sophisticated electrostatic model, an accurate description of electrostatics in organochlorine compounds and halogen bonds were achieved. Our model demonstrated its advantages by reproducing the experimental density and heat of vaporization; besides, the calculated hydration free energy, solvent reaction fields, and interaction energies of several homo- and heterodimer of chloromethanes were all in good agreement with experimental and ab initio data.

▼ Cooperative behaviors are useful to many species of animals. Predators may team up to hunt large prey that they cannot catch on their own, while prey can herd together for defense. This dissertation focuses on understanding the environmental factors and cognitive architectures underlying the evolution of coordinated cooperation. An agent-based neuroevolutionary
simulation of an ecosystem containing teams of predators and prey was built, modeling the environment of spotted hyenas. Communication, prey-capture rewards and reward-sharing strategies were found to determine whether cooperative hunting behaviors emerged. This
simulation was extended to more complex cooperative behavior, that of coordinated mobbing. Through careful coordination, a large number of spotted hyenas can attack a group of lions and successfully steal a kill, even though lions are much stronger. The computational model developed in this dissertation helped understand how spotted hyenas are able to perform this complex cooperative task and how mobbing behaviors evolved. Many factors that were observed affecting lion-hyena interaction and rates of lion-mobbing in nature were also discovered using the model. This model was then used to make predictions about real-life hyena behaviors during mobbing events, which may be verified in the field in future. These results and predictions lead to general insights into how coordinated cooperative behaviors arise in humans and animals. Such insights in turn should prove useful in building cognitive architectures and team strategies for artificial agents in the future.
